4. Pioneer PL-71 Turntable From 1974

I paid $120 for it and sold it for $299 last week. This turntable is gorgeous! I really love the looks, but unfortunately it is manual and I am accustomed to automatic. I have been spoiled by My Pioneer PL-530. The PL-71 looks much nicer, but I prefer the ease of the PL-530. My ears can't tell the difference either. Back in 1974 it retailed for $300, which is about $1330.00 in 2010 dollars!

(Update, I now regret selling this as I now prefer manual tables. I should have kept it!)
